Scanning 3000 cases admitted for rehabilitation after cerebrovascular accident over a 20 year period produced a sample of 1369 subjects, without age restrictions, admitted within six months of a first stroke of thrombotic etiology. In this sample, survival rates showed no significant difference between men and women. Age at onset, however, clearly influenced survival changes; the expected mean ...

Chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is manifested by autoantibodyinduced platelet destruction. Platelet turnover studies suggest that autoantibody may also affect platelet production. To evaluate this, we studied the effect of plasma from adult patients with chronic ITP on in vitro megakaryocyte production. CD34 cells, obtained from healthy donors, were cultured in medium containing P...

Euthanasia motivated by mental disorders is legal in only a few countries and has a short history. In a recent report of all psychiatric euthanasia cases in Belgium between 2002 and 2013, Dierickx and colleagues suggest that the number of these cases is increasing, and provide a profile of the applicants. To date, knowledge of the practice of psychiatric euthanasia is limited, but rising public...

2014 The phase diagram under pressure up to 4 kbar of an alloy containing 2.8 at % Fe in chromium has been determined by neutron diffraction. A hysteretic first order transition to a commensurate spin density wave phase, together with an apparently second order transition from the disordered paramagnetic phase to an incommensurate phase, is observed. No triple point could be found and there is ...

Let G be a simple connected graph and di be the degree of its ith vertex. In a recent paper [D. Vukičević, B. Furtula, Topological index based on the ratios of geometrical and arithmetical means of end-vertex degrees of edges, J. Math. Chem. 46 (2009) 1369–1376] the ‘‘first geometric–arithmetic index’’ of a graph Gwas defined as GA1 = − di dj (di + dj)/2 with summation going over all pairs of ...

INTRODUCTION Cancer of uterine cervix is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity among women worldwide. In developing countries it is the most common gynaecological cancer and one of the leading causes of cancer death among women. Pap smears are commonly used as cytological screening test for successful eradication of precancerous lesions, which has made it a routine procedure worldwide. M...
